26. d6d5  26... g5h4 Objectively Gukesh should have accepted the draw, since White is slightly better. 27. e1d1  27... g7g6 It's important to give an air to the king. 28. d5e5 This isn't the most dangerous move, as it doesn't help White's position much. Ding will take the queen to g3, which is not the best plan. He could have improved his king's position with 28.Kc2 or started the pawn push with 28.c4.
